Chimaira has finished recording, mixing, and mastering of "The Infection," which is set for an April 21, 2009 release via Ferret Music. Here's the update from the band:

"We have wrapped up the recording for The Infection.

"Sonically this album sounds amazing. Ben, Zeuss and Ted did an amazing job making our vision come to reality. The album has exceeded everyone in this bands expectations. Now we all get to play the game “hurry up and wait” as we won’t be posting a new track for a little bit because our record labels (yes i said labels) need to listen to the album and hear the songs before you guys. I trust you understand after all they did pay for us to record them it’s only fair they get first dibs."

What's Next?

post 7: most hardcore fans are complete a$$holes truth be told lol.
then again, most people who go to shows just to swing their fists in windmills and stomp around are a$$holes haha. I'm not one to rant but...

"But Hardcore fans aren't a$$holes"
-well i dont know who told you that but i live in new jersey, and we have the FSU gang. they beat up people at shows just because they dont like their shirts, hats, whatever. A year ago some fat FSU guy killed somebody outside a club in asbury park for wearing a lynyrd skynyrd shirt.

Hardcore isnt even an interesting sub-genre of metal in any way shape or form. You have an intro, one or two chords that ring through half the verse, then your chorus, and then a minute long breakdown to "open this b**** up" so that some fat guys in christmas sweaters with taxi cab driver hats can fight imaginary ninjas to look tough. wiggers.

np: Behemoth- Demigod

Dark funeral you are my new hero....ive been saying the same sh** for 2 years and i ve always felt that hardcore bands belong to hardcore only shows..not to mix them with a metal show....metal and hardcore fans hate each other...its like an ugly football rivalry, two different kinds of people and im proud to be a metal head...mostly death and black but all metal in general as well....hardcore i think gives a black eye to metal and its fans.....stay metal DF

It is the adrenaline rush, I suppose. I know people go to metal or hardcore shows to get out a lot of pent up aggression, and forget about shxt in their lives or problems at work. I don't ever start fights with anyone, but I can see how tempers can escalate at metal shows. Still the most brutal concert I have been to, is a slayer concert, with hatebreed and lamb of god - a close second.

it's not adrenalin rush it's drugs and booze, hate the bloody kungfu dancers ,but i gues as much as the music is primitive as much the audience will be common goin around in circles and throwing your legs and arms frantically around is a neandertal behaviour.

retardcore dancing should be illegal. whatever happened to using your aggression to make music, i'm sure if half these angry kids had any musical talent(since playing hardcore music really takes absolutely no talent at all)the american metal scene wouldn't suck as much a$$ as it does today.
